Lyrics

Under the sun
Look what we have got
And those who haven't
Bad luck
We've been running 'round
Pushing the shopping cart
January 2012
Even in the suburbs of Rome
A brick in a castle
A camp for those on the run
Dance as weapons
Release my
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes tell me you
Some other kid is sucking on my thumb
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes tell me you
Another kid needs to suck on my thumb
Under the sun
Picking piles of flowers for the flower's pot
It's all that I've got
On my doorstep
A screaming hand
I'm telling you stories
Trust me
Rewrite history
To suit our needs
Open my country
A tooth for an
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes tell me you
Some other kid is sucking on my thumb
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes tell me you
Another kid needs to suck on my thumb
Border's lies
The idea of what's mine
A strange desire
Drawing lines with a ruler
Bring the fuel to the fire
Border's lies
The idea of what's mine
A strange desire
Drawing lines with a ruler
Bring the fuel to the fire, ooh
